Lmao! Occam's razor seems to be a little blunt. :cln:

Go from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_physics to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon

Going from Germans to rice could have been done in two steps:

Germans -> Kazakhstan -> Rice

(...) it takes an average of 4.573 clicks to get from any Wikipedia article to any other.

See Six Degrees of Wikipedia (http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/wiki/) for more info and a calculator for shortest routes.
